Satin Spar is a variety of Gypsum that is very often mislabelled as Selenite. It is very closely related, as they have the same chemical composition, but they have crystallised in a different way. Satin Spar forms in white, fibrous masses, and is often carved into hearts, eggs, spheres, bowls and mountain shapes, whereas Selenite forms in large clear plates which are very rarely polished.
Satin Spar is a crystal frequently used to cleanse other crystals, and it can help quieten an overactive mind. It offers protection from psychic attacks and can help individuals who have difficulty overcoming abuse. It helps to stabilise and balance your emotions, begin to awaken and strengthen telepathic abilities and assists in connecting to the spirit realm.
